Summary

The Township Committee introduced Ordinance 21‑25 to authorize the tax assessor to settle property tax appeals under $10,000; final hearing is set for July 16, 2025.

Morris Township introduced Ordinance 21‑25 on Wednesday to allow the tax assessor to settle property tax appeals valued at less than $10,000, a procedural change the committee said is intended to streamline operations and speed resolution for small disputes.

Deputy Mayor Graysell and other members said the measure reduces administrative delay by removing a lengthier multi‑step process for modest appeals. The ordinance was introduced by motion and will have a public hearing and final consideration at the committee’s July 16, 2025 regular meeting.

No public comment was raised during the introduction. The measure is limited to small monetary settlements and does not change larger appeal processes that remain subject to full committee or legal review, officials said.
